Corporate Responsibility & Diversity

CR People understands the growing importance of corporate social responsibility and aim to promote its significance across all areas of our work. From everything we do comes an understanding of the importance of being community minded for current and future generations.

What is Corporate Responsibility?

Let’s get the basics first. Corporate social responsibility refers to the commitment by business to consider the interests of their employees and families, local community and the wider society in issues related to their business. When corporate social responsibility works, it benefits all of us. For employees it can mean improved working conditions by promoting diversity and equal opportunity, professional development and enhancement as well as respectful and equitable treatment. For businesses it means improving employee recruitment, motivation and retention. It enhances an organisations brand and image as well as encouraging development.

Diversity

We aim to assist in developing a diverse, socially inclusive workforce in Australia through effective communication and strong partnerships between government, private and community based organisations.Diversity in the workforce falls into 7 main categories:

Mature age workers

Return to work/single parents

Non-English speaking migrants

People with a disability

Indigenous Australians

Youth

Long-term unemployed

Benefits of a diverse workforce include, but are certainly not limited to:

Improved staff retention

Community involvement

The ability to influence cultural change

Increased business profiling

Cost savings

Internal staff motivation

Above are just a few examples of how social inclusion and diversity can further enhance your organisation. In many cases CR People are able to facilitate government funding and training opportunities at little or no expense to your business.
